RearSlip:No, the Fit is $16,000 and a subcompact.The 4-year-old FWD full-size that starts at 30K is ridiculous.And less modern than a 2-year-old RWD full-size that gets 31 mpg and has an 8-speed transmission, sorry. Regular logic.A V6 Charger can be very well-equipped at 30K too. It'll still be RWD.That's also why the Maxima doesn't sell in spades, isn't on any lists like this one, and hasn't been featured in a magazine comparison in a century, bar the one MT did very recently, and the Maxima was only in that because MT couldn't get the car they actually wanted and didn't want to do a comparison with only 2 cars. Which is basically what they said.Sorry guy, "your" not convincing me to buy a dated Nissan over what has been voted by many to be the best full-size on the market.

Fallen79:

I was never trying to convince you to buy a Maxima. I simply pointed out the equipment differences between a maxima which is a luxury-ish sport sedan and the cheap plastic laden Charger.

If you look at my original post and read it again, you might notice the sarcasm. The maxima's "claim to fame" is that its a "sport sedan", yet it doesnt make any lists.. THAT WAS MY SARCASTIC POINT. lol.

Some of you Dodge guys are as ridiculous as Fordies trying to put "mustang" in every post.

It most definitely needs an update.

And I was never trying to convince you to buy a Charger, yet if you pull your head out of your *** a few inches, you might see that the first half of that sentence was a direct copy of something you said.You didn't point out any equipment differences. You just claimed it was worth it, whether it be because of a V12 motor or whale foreskin seats. The Maxima is hardly a sports sedan. And it's hardly luxury, either. Every mainstream car's interior is primarily plastic, including the Maxima, so I don't see what you're getting at there. And the Charger's interior is quite nice for a 26K RWD full-size. You should try sitting in one.All of which points to "The Maxima is outdated and expensive".Jesus, you're just like DRII. Anybody who says a positive word about the class-leading car is automatically a Dodge shill.Also, Mustang.

Edit: Why is "butthole" censored? It's a grade school word.
"There's a lie that all drivers tell themselves -- death is something that happens to other people. That's how you find the courage to get in the car in the first place. But more powerful than even the fear of death itself is the will to win."

...Looking at this list, I'm not sure I agree with it. I've read the article and understand what they say about each car, but my question is, what criteria do they go? What makes the Fit, which I've always been told is an awesome little car to throw around, go on the same list as the STi and the Porsche Panamera?

Where's the guidlines for this? They could've thrown any sports car on there from the sounds of it, and it sounds like it's the editor's personal choice.

For instance, instead of the Fit, you could've gotten a Civic Si Sedan, or the MazdaSPEED3 instead of the GTI.

And you've got four cars that are the same, the S7/CTS-V/E63 AMG/Porsche Panamera. Why do you have 4 cars that compete against each other, on the same list for the 'BEST' sports-oriented family sedans? Same goes for the STi and GTI.

I find this list to be inadequate and that the article of the writer should really reconsider his career before creating another article.

Bellanca5.0:I thought they would have chose more vehicles that are actually within reach of the average family. I doubt many people looking for a family vehicle are going to look at a CTS-V, S7, or E63.
